For ride pics, this spot is as good as it gets. There are plenty of benches and amazing views of the city, so it’s a great rest stop as well for longer rides.

Road cycling

5th Avenue route starts to get too dangerous bout half mile past green-wood cemetery. Too many pedestrians, cars parked in bike lanes, car random u turns and busses and delivery truck stopping frequently. 4th avenue a better option.
